1
00:00:00,00 --> 00:00:07,700
As we started to plan the campaign we immediately 
had this beautiful nature-romantic bikepacking 
atmosphere in mind.

2
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:12,600
Packing your bags, getting out of town, out 
of all the stress.

3
00:00:12,700 --> 00:00:21,700
Like back to nature. Building a small camp, 
making a fire, stuff like that.

4
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:26,600
But now it's already October and it's getting 
cold out there

5
00:00:26,700 --> 00:00:31,500
and this morning I almost needed gloves to 
ride to work

6
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:36,400
therefore it was difficult for us to find 
somebody for the shoot. Nobody on the team 
was keen

7
00:00:36,500 --> 00:00:38,100
to sleep in the woods for the Erdgeschoss 
campaign.

8
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,000
Definintely not me.

9
00:00:40,100 --> 00:00:42,000
Yes, me neither.

10
00:00:42,100 --> 00:00:44,800
That's why we needed to find somebody esle 
who would do it for us.

11
00:00:44,900 --> 00:00:49,900
Julien aka 8000 Watt: MORSCHE! (local slang 
for "Good morning", mostly used by Julien)

12
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,800
Let's say we found someone and from there 
we just let it flow...

13
00:00:54,900 --> 00:00:57,900


14
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:02,800
Of course I'll have to do a chainring control 
first.

15
00:01:02,900 --> 00:01:07,700
Look at those sick paint jobs!

16
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:12,600
The Wattner*innen will love it.

17
00:01:12,700 --> 00:01:14,500
Which one should I take?

18
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:19,400
I don't care, flip a coin.

19
00:01:19,500 --> 00:01:24,300


20
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,200
Great, you want a coffee?

21
00:01:27,300 --> 00:01:32,100
Sure, no problem.

22
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:48,600
(Funky electronic music playing while some 
great new features of the Erdgeschoss are 
being displayed)

23
00:01:48,700 --> 00:01:54,800
Alright, I'm ready, time2abfahrt with the 
Erdgeschoss. Vamos!

24
00:01:56,500 --> 00:01:59,700
The Erdgeschoss is built up and I'll ride 
out

25
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:04,100
from Berlin into the nature. Time2Abfahrt 
as we say.

26
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,300
With the Erdgeschoss. Let's go.

27
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,700
Well, and then he just rolled off.

28
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,900
What do you mean, just rolled off? That wasn't 
the plan.

29
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,700
The actual plan was that we head out by car

30
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,700
to take some nice photos and then take it 
from there

31
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:26,200
but now he's gone and we had to quickly jump 
in the car to catch him.

32
00:02:26,300 --> 00:02:43,800


33
00:02:43,900 --> 00:02:46,000
Wo geht's hin? Was ist der Plan?

34
00:02:46,100 --> 00:02:50,200
Irgendwo im Norden gibt's einen super schönen 
See.

35
00:02:50,300 --> 00:02:53,000
Ok, cool. Falls wir dich verlieren treffen 
wir uns an einem Café oder so.

36
00:02:53,100 --> 00:02:56,800
Ich habe meinen eigenen Kaffee, also alles 
entspannt.

37
00:02:56,900 --> 00:03:01,100
An dem Punkt dachte ich das ganze wäre eine 
dumme Idee. Ernsthaft.

38
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:07,600
I knew Julien wouldn't let us down. We just 
had to find him - somewhere out in the sticks 
in Brandenburg.

39
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,800
Alright, 8000 Watt, I left Berlin

40
00:03:11,900 --> 00:03:16,700
up North through Pankow. Now I'm somewhere 
in the middle of nature

41
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:21,900
as you see. Until now the Erdgeschoss didn't 
disappoint

42
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:27,300
therefore I would say full force. It's moist 
but I have grip.

43
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:35,700


44
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,300
Out of the bushes, back on gravel.

45
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:43,800
As I said I'm somewhere up North close to 
Biesenthal.

46
00:03:43,900 --> 00:03:48,700
Looked familiar, super quiet, awesome weather

47
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,100
and as mentioned great grip.

48
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:53,800
I've got 47C tires

49
00:03:53,900 --> 00:03:57,800
the handlebar has a good width, not too wide 
like a giant ship

50
00:03:57,900 --> 00:04:06,200
and I have to say compared to my punisher 
aka the Pfadfinder this feels even lighter

51
00:04:06,300 --> 00:04:10,100
it's stainless steel with a carbon fork.

52
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:15,000
So let's keep going, full force ahead.

53
00:04:15,100 --> 00:04:23,400


54
00:04:23,500 --> 00:04:25,900
This is just so much fun.

55
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:32,500
This is - not to say "tank style" - but it's 
such a solid ride.

56
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:36,800
No matter if it's sand like in Morocco

57
00:04:36,900 --> 00:04:41,700
or paths through the fields like here.

58
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,400
Safe! Let him have it!

59
00:04:44,500 --> 00:04:47,700


60
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,300
As you see I'm on the right course

61
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,500
wanted to golf today anyway

62
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,500
with the Erdgeschoss from hole 8000

63
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:01,400
let's see how it handles on these nice lawns.

64
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:03,500
Let's go!

65
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:13,400


66
00:05:13,500 --> 00:05:19,600
I'm in the middle of the forest as you see, 
time to turn the light on, let's go

67
00:05:19,700 --> 00:05:24,500
Headlights, 8000 Watt, let him have it!

68
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:28,100
uhm, exactly, let's keep going, I still have 
grip

69
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:33,000
sometimes it feels like I have a, what's 
the name?

70
00:05:33,100 --> 00:05:36,300
Not shock absorber, a suspension

71
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:41,200
because I guess I have around 29psi in those 
tires

72
00:05:41,300 --> 00:05:44,700
and it's just so super smooth, very enjoyable.

73
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:49,600
Therefore, guys, we keep going.

74
00:05:49,700 --> 00:05:56,000


75
00:05:56,100 --> 00:06:00,900
Soon I should be

76
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:05,800
at my spot, called something like Bernsteinsee.

77
00:06:05,900 --> 00:06:10,700
The last meters through the sand.

78
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:15,000


79
00:06:15,100 --> 00:06:18,200
Ha, there he is.

80
00:06:18,300 --> 00:06:19,500


81
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:20,600
Gude!

82
00:06:20,700 --> 00:06:21,800
As I said.

83
00:06:21,900 --> 00:06:26,700
Woah, sick, sick, sick. Left town

84
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:31,600
bam bam, through the woods, up down, mega

85
00:06:31,700 --> 00:06:36,500
From then there wasn't really much to do 
other then to take some nice photos,

86
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,700
let Julien build up his tent

87
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,300
and then wish him a good but most likely 
pretty cold night.

88
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,900


89
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,800
We got this, it's a wrap. And it has started 
raining so this kind of sucks

90
00:06:50,900 --> 00:06:52,800
we'll drive back to Berlin.

91
00:06:52,900 --> 00:06:56,900
Ok, I'll crawl into my tent and I'll see 
you in the next days

92
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:01,800
Alright, then have fun or so.

93
00:07:01,900 --> 00:07:04,800


94
00:07:04,900 --> 00:07:09,100
Alright, I finally arrived

95
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:14,000
the Erdgeschoss got me here perfectly through 
the woods and fields as you saw

96
00:07:14,100 --> 00:07:18,200
I'm in the tent now and will make some food, 
something warm of course

97
00:07:18,300 --> 00:07:21,100
then will snuggle up into my sleeping bag

98
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,000
and of course will dream of the big chainring.

99
00:07:24,100 --> 00:07:27,200
Thanks for tuning in!

100
00:07:27,300 --> 00:07:32,100
I wish you a great night and see you next 
time.

101
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:33,200
Ciaoi!
